I think seasonal is the best choice too. Especially after looking at the OSM wiki entry on ice_roads (ice_road=*).

Keep in mind that OSM tags may have different meaning that in common usage. So whether or not locals call the roads that are only passible when the mud is frozen "ice roads" isn't relevant, it's just a question of how the tag is used on OSM. (The OSM wiki is usually useful in this regard, but may lack information, or even not reflect actual usage accurately).

In any case we seem to be in agreement. Thanks for your work on Northern Canada, it's good to see someone editing in this area.

Thanks for answering my note (note/835213), your knowledge on the Mackenzie river crossing, and the ice_road tag, I didn't know about that one.

I did do a minor edit to following yours, as you had applied the ice_road tag to a large length of road, that was both on the river and on the land.

If you want to apply a tag to a section of a road, you first need to cut the way. In iD this is done by clicking on the node where you want to cut it (make a new node at this location if necessary), and then clicking on the scissors icon.

I've done this for the road in question, and removed the ice_road tag from the inappropriate section. But I thought you might be interested in the process.

If I'm not being clear please let me know, and feel free to ask any questions if you have them, I'll do my best to answer.

This is a highly political edit, and OSM is interested in the reality on the ground, not Historic agreements.

Species? What does this edit summary mean?

Why are these two nodes tagged as tailors, but have the names of tattoo studios?

I also left comments on changeset (changeset/21702908) that originally added this (and 1269 other similar nodes) if there's been discussion before importing this data.

I'm a bit concerned by the edit summary of this changeset, as it states "so they can show in map", this sounds like it might be tagging for the renderer (see osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer). Is it certain that all of these are schools? If so why were they not originally added as schools?

I understand that these are polling stations, and that polling stations are often in schools. Are they always held in schools? Also why are there so many duplicate nodes with identical locations?

Oops, I see that the second edit (changeset/21877729) by thevikas provides a source of "election commission of india - public data". So it was an import. As such I'd like more information about any discussion that took place before the import was done. More info about the source would be great too.

Where did this data come from? It appears to be an import. Was it discussed prior to importing? If so please provide a link to the discussion.

Thank you for any information that can be provided.

This seems to be a common pattern, especially in India. The older route takes a more roundabout route, as roads get upgraded a bigger bridge, with more direct routing is built.

I'd say that anytime the the main road takes a detour at a side valley, and a minor road takes the direct route, it's worth looking more closely at if they are correctly classified.

This edit is an improvement over the previous lack of waterways.

This changeset changes the name of Tangmarg to "Tangmarg, Jammu&Kashmir". I am changing the name back, as it is incorrect to include the state name in a village's name.

I forgot to add GPS to the source. There are plenty GPS tracks on the main highway, and I used these to confirm tile alignment.

Once again I forgot to update the source field in JOSM. The imagery used was *BC Mosaic* not Bing. I pretty much always use BC Mosaic for the area it covers, only occasional comparing it with Bing, as the Bing imagery seems to be more up to date.

Sorry if my last comment seemed a bit curt. I'm sure the edit was benificial, I'm happy to get speed limits and turn restrictions added.

Accidentally dragging and dropping a node is an easy thing to do. I've looked into the edit history of the node, and it seems like it'd already been added back at the correct location, so I just deleted the one in the incorrect location.

I don't think you need to do anything now, but if you want to double check my work I did it with this changeset: changeset/44229455

This edit has moved a Mobi bike station to the middle of False Creek. I don't have time to figure out what happened, and fix it at the moment. Is there any chance someone else could?

Thanks for this edit, Quetron. I was just looking at the dirt jumps on the map, having realized that I'd made the area too large, and found that you'd already fixed it. :-)

It is helpful to other people if you give more information in the edit summary then just saying "mapping". Please do so.

Oops. I forgot to update the source field in JOSM, this was done with BC Mosaic imagery.

I was hesitant to make this edit, as there has been construction in the area since the Bing imagery was taken. In the end I decided to make the edit, as previous edit summaries did not mention any info source other than the Bing imagery.
